(a timely reminder of a number of hostname-related issues we have,
will be sending further mail post 3.8.2 to start tackling those)

No problem at all. With latest dev branch for my RHEL6 testing box,
my QA failures look delightfully slim now:
Failures: 374 564 994
Failed 3 of 598 tests
Those 3 failures are a networking issue (374 - 2 remote VM guest hosts
not resolving each other), our heisenbug (564), and the packaging one
that passes at the start of a run but not the end (994).
Hopefully those big smelly fish are on the line and being reeled in.
I'm writing up changelogs and so forth at the moment, we can't really
delay much further beyond tonight (I plan to begin tagging, building,
and so on first thing in the morning, after a quick sniff around for
any absolute-last-minute goodies that may have arrived overnight).
If that pmcd sigsegv fix does not make it this time, I'll prepare a
follow-up bugfix point release as soon as its available.
And on that note, the 3.8.2 changelog is huge - looking like its the
biggest release we've done for quite awhile, with some fundamentally
important progress... fantastic.
cheers.
